Today we celebrate the birthday of Firefighter David Cash from Kilchoan Fire Station, who has turned 70 today and is still going strong, having just passed his BA Refresher, what a fantastic achievement and I want to thank David for his steadfast commitment to his community.

Crews from across Highland and Argyll worked hard to extinguish a large wildfire in Acharacle over the past few days. The generosity of the community and local businesses in looking after our welfare during the incident has been incredible. 🙏🚒 Huge thanks to all who helped!

🌞 Enjoying the warmer May sunshine? Remember, as we head outdoors, the risk of wildfires rises.

Let's keep our forests and landscapes safe.

Monday night training night for the Lochaline crew - this week is pump drills from open water 💦🚒
This is part of essential ongoing training for the crew but also development for our trainees on station.

[Scottish Fire and Rescue Service – Your Safety @SFRSYourSafety]

The risk of wildfires is real and weather conditions can determine how much they spread.

Strong winds, high temperatures or low rainfall can leave vegetation primed to fuel a fire.

Think twice before lighting anything outdoors.

SC King delivered some input tonight to crews from Strontian and Lochaline stations concerning marine and ship firefighting. Also, in attendance were members of HM Coastguard for some input and joint training. This was to give a deeper insight for crews for future incidents.
